Action Coordination Group- Protecting Our Puhipuhi Mountain

Late in 2015 a collective authorised the establishment of the Action Coordination Group (ACG), to be convened by Ngati Hau Anti-Mining Group and MineWatch Northland – which later expanded to include Ngati Hau Kaumatua Kuia and Ngati Hau Resource Management Unit. The agreement was for direct action to discourage exploration and mining activities at Puhipuhi – and to make it clear that the large majority of tangata whenua and communities were strongly opposed to Mining at Puhipuhi, situated North east of Whangarei.
